[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 515581, member: 11791"] Your best friend for "unplugging" stuff is... power bars. These have a switch on them, and you just turn off the switch. So, for example, you can leave all the computers, phone chargers etc. plugged in... but turn the power bar off unless something is actually charging. Set the coffee machine on a timer - especially if it's the kind that needs to pre-heat the water. Lights that get used a lot but not for things like reading... switch to CF bulbs (compact florescent) - entry ways, hallways, storeroom, that kind of stuff. (I like "real" light for reading, sewing, etc.) [/QUOTE]
